Definitely going to read So you've been publicly shamed (I think that's the title, I have the translation) by Jon Ronson
Can you post the Facebook page too? I can't find it. Thanks!
@@jammiez2805 There isn't currently a Facebook page. Sorry about that!
@@abookoliveoh ok thank you Olive!
Todd here. I enjoy Nonfiction November! I enjoy History, Philosophy, Biographies, Sports, Science!
Great prompts as always! Very much looking forward to 'forcing' the books I want to read into the mould of the prompts 😁
The books I for sure want to read are;
Thunderstruck by Erik Larson
All that Remains by Sue Black
The Poisoner's Handbook by Deborah Blum
The Devil Soldier by Caleb Carr
🎉🎉
Can't wait to participate!
Waiting excitedly.
Web: Web of Deceit by Mark Curtis
Capital: A Very English Scandal by John Preston
Fraud: Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
Display: Below the Edge of Darkness by Edith Widder
A recommendation: for anyone who hasn't already read The Art Thief by Michael Finkel, this one book alone fits perfectly within these prompts! Wish I hadn't just finished it myself or I would absolutely consider it for Nonfiction November. Per the book jacket, you've got...
-The most prolific art thief of all time (fraud)
-Creating a *web* of lies, deceit, and, obviously, theft
-Sitting on an estimated $1-2 billion worth of art (capital)
-That he doesn't sell for profit but rather *displays* in his attic room
Thanks for the tip. I have been wanting to read this, so I reserved it at my library!
Omg YES! Read that book this year. I think it’s in my top 5 for the year. Absolutely loved it!!
@@bookwalk1 Hope you enjoy it!
@@socaltoobie8984 I really enjoyed this one too! The thief's audacity was absolutely staggering!
You've done it again! I can't wait!
I’ve been waiting, not so patiently, for this!!! So excited.
Finally going to get to The Soul of the Octopus and empire of pain in November!
These are two I need to get to as well! Oh, so many titles to read!
Excited as always!
Yay! I've been waiting for this video fro what seems like a very long time! It's finally here!
The I 94 murders is my pick for fraud (Frank Webver) and the Britney Spears autobiography for display
The video hasn’t even started and I’m excited 😊
Oooo what an intriguing list of themes. I'm going through my nonfiction TBR right now, trying to match up book and themes! Can't wait; thanks as always for hosting 😊
Wonderful! I always look forward to the release of the Nonfiction November words! Now for the fun as I think about what I might be able to fit into each label...
Just a Recc if you want something different. So perhaps you want to try something new for CAPITAL LETTER and FONTS as Olive suggested. One of the BEST BOOKS that I read was called Marcel's Letters about a whole new font being created based on old letters written by a frenchman back during WW2. I enjoyed this book so much, I have read it twice!!
Marcel's Letters: A Font and the Search for One Man's Fate - Caroline Porter -- Nov. 13 2018
This strikes me as interesting because in my everyday life, when I am talking to my coworkers about books, they always insist that they only read non-fiction. Usually, they mean self-help books and the like. I, as an advid reader, have only just gotten more comfortable with non-fiction reads. The stories that can be told in memoirs are just as good as any novel I've read. Subject to the person reading the book and the story at hand, of course.
Can't wait. I look forward to this challenge every year.
I’m in and working on the challenges as we speak. I LOVE nonfiction November!!! ❤📚
Okay, I think I have my TBR set, one book for each prompt. Hoping my library can get the ebook for one of these in time.
FRAUD - Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Start-up by John Carreyrou
WEB - Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch
CAPITAL - They Were Her Property: White Women As Slave Owners in the American South by Stephanie Jones-Rogers
DISPLAY - She-Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth by Helen Castor (using this one as in a "display of power" and such)
Great list! I LOVED Bad Blood!!
This will be my first Nonfiction November, though I read quite a bit of nonfiction. I have stuff planned for next month but I have no idea how to fit them with the challenges. I do look forward to your other videos about next month.
I have the perfect book for all the prompts. Enough, by Cassidy Hutchinson. I think that will be one of my books.
Very good choice, thank you for reminding me of that.
You’re right! That book fits all of them.
Thanks for hosting the challenge again! I do it every year and just posted my video :) Already enjoying some great nonfiction!
Found another way to interpret display.
I’m going to read Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain as this books offers his commentary and investigations into the food industry. Thereby putting secrets on full “display”.
I think this prompt will definitely work for any investigative journalism/writing.
I've been meaning to finish Entangled Lives for the last 2 years. Perhaps very tenuously linked to Web! That ones my priority anyway!
Love it! I am already thinking about how I can make these words fit the 2 books I know I want to read. 😊😊😊 I can’t believe it is almost November!!
so happy to find this! IT just so happens that with my goal to narrow down my audible and chirp accounts I have five nonfictions left! Perfect opportunity to jump on them. As secondary of whittling down those I've put on library wishlists or scribd I know of a few off the top of my head--a couple of which will fit perfectly into these prompts with no creativity needed even!
I love this time of year
I’ve been wanting to read Proverty, by America.
Me saving up my non-fiction books all year for November! 😅
Have been participating in this reading challenge since 2016 and I look forward to it every year!
Heck yea! I've stopped doing readathons and the like but I always make an exception for Nonfiction November! I don't know exactly what i'll be reading yet but at the end of last year I made a storygraph challenge, 24 nonfiction prompts. I've currently completed 18 of 24 prompts so I plan to continue working on those! The storygraph challenge is called "Expand your mind with Nonfiction 2023"
Wooooooot woooooot!! This is great, Olive!!
Yessss! My favorite readathon on Booktube 😍 I was waiting for the announcement 🎉🎉🎉 I do have some books I want to read this year, my wheels are spinning as I type, to fit them to the prompts haha… but I do have some ideas! 👀
Looking forward to this! 📚
I've done a bit of planning, but most of my books will be whatever I feel in the mood for. I have never read only nonfiction all month, but I am feeling the urge to do so this year. I can't wait.
Always great to see this event.
Thank you for describing different possible ways to fulfill the prompts, Olive! I think it sounds fun to do the prompts but I have really struggled to find books I already own and I don't want to buy new books right now, and my mind was not creative enough to figure it out on my own lol. I came back to watch your video again and get some ideas and now I'm sure I can find books on my shelves to fit the prompts. Thank you so much! Nonfiction is probably my favorite genre so I'm very excited for November reading!📖
The gears in my brain are already spinning!! Thanks for another year of amazing prompts ✨🔥🎉
So excited! No idea what I’m going to read this year but hoping to read an audiobook, ebook and one physically.
Can't wait!
The prompt words are so fun! Looking forward to picking out my TBR. And planning bookstagram content! 😁
🎉Wahoooooooo! I’m so excited!🎉
Sooo excited!🎉
So excited already! I've been in a huge fiction reading slump all year so I've been reading a lot more nonfiction. My physical tbr is now almost half and half fiction and nonfiction and there are so many books on there i can't wait to finally get to.
Thank you! A friend shared this with me. I look forward to adding more non fiction.
I'm looking forward to joining again! Very excited to go hunting for books that fit the prompts. ❤❤
Woooo it’s almost time! 🙌🏻 So excited for Nonfiction November!
Great prompts as always!! So fun to see the interpretations!
So exciting!!
omg sooo excited! I'd been checking your page in the last week to see if this announcement was coming! 4 interesting words! I can't wait to think more of it and see what fits these themes on my tbr!! Thanks Olive!
I'm always so excited whenever Nonfiction November rolls around! I recently returned from my very first trip to Japan and bought myself a copy of Sei Shōnagon's The Pillow Book so this is the perfect time to dive in. I find it so fascinating that we still have the writings of a woman who lived 1000 years ago.
Oh I'm so excited! I love the prompts so I'll see if any of my "top of my tbr" nonfiction books already fit them :)
Yippiiiiiee 😍 I look forward to the nonfiction november prompts every year. This year especially, as nonfiction has featured less heavily in my reading so far. Thank you for the great prompts that I will somehow bend to fit the books on my shelves 😁
It's the most wonderful time of the yeeear!
I love this Readathon so much - looking forward to perusing my shelves later to see how I can link them to the prompts!
I’m in! I have a few books already in mind and I’m sure I can make them fit a prompt but I heard about a book from a fellow you tuber that is coming out this month that not only am I interested in, but I think it will cover all the prompts. The Final Witness by Paul Landis deals with the JFK assassination. The author was a secret service agent assigned to the First Lady and was in Dallas that day. Fraud, web, capital are easily covered, and I think it’s going to be on book sellers display tables as well. So I think if I get my hands on this book, I’ll have all the prompts covered😊. Have a great week, Olive, and I look forward to hearing your recommendations as well. And thanks to Laurie @Booksinkandpaper for bringing this book to my attention.
Does this mean I can apply this same methodology to any JFK assassinatiom book? I have tons of them. Thank you for bringing this book to my attention. I must find a copy.
Yes I will be joining, at least read a few. I discovered non-fiction 2 years ago, where I challenged myself to read one book of non-fiction each month, this year I didn't have that
challenge, but I am sure reading much more non-fiction books. I am reading The Lego
Story How a Little Toy sparked the Worlds Imagination. I have also on hold at the Library
called Dressing Barbie, all about how her clothes were decided upon and made. That would
be good for the Display Prompt.
Thank you very much for this perfect video ♡
Greetings from Türkiye / Turkey♡
I hope to read a couple of nonfiction books in November. Still figuring out which ones. 🤔💙
Great prompts and I can't wait to choose some books for my tbr. Thanks for organising Olive.
Recently started watching videos of "Book and Things". And stumbled upon the existence of Nonfiction November. A great initiative! Loved it. Will begin to pick what fits for me well as per the interpretation. :)
Wonderful prompts once again. I will definitely be reading more non fiction, we are also planning to read a non fiction book for our book club.
I’m excited about participating in my first Nonfiction November. I enjoy reading nonfiction, but I don’t read nearly enough of it. I have a few ideas of the books I want to put on my TBR. At the moment, I’m thinking of reading Life in Five Senses by Gretchen Rubin for DISPLAY. It has a beautiful cover.
I am sooo in. I am almost exclusively non-fiction all year but I love seeing books I hadn’t heard of before. Everyone always has such great ideas. It’s also fun to try and find books that fit into the prompts. I’m ready for November to come…and will enjoy the lead up to it.
I'm very excited to be joining this year, Olive! I don't know what I will read yet, but figuring it out will be part of the fun.
So great! Was looking for some direction for choosing my next read and these challenges are always helpful to clear my TBR pile. I never bothered with non fiction until I pick up “Tokyo Rose/An American Patriot: A Dual Biography” it was such an interesting read. Now I’ve been picking up non fiction at random.
I’m a bit late but I only plan to read one book “Solar Dance: Van Gogh, Forgery and the Eclipse of Certainty” aside from that title I’m going in blind 😅 I think it checks off a few of the challenge words though 😂. Again thanks enjoy your reads! 😊
Woohoo!!! Excited about the photo-a-day challenge on IG, and also the challenges I'm listening to right now! 📣
I might have to make a trip to the library to get books for some of the challenges. I'm so excited for November.
I plan to participate! It's been a few years since I've been able to but I can't wait!
Excited to look at all my NF TBR lists! I love planning for this! Thks, Olive for continuing to provide a great NFN!
Am very excited! Going to casually participate this year
I'll be joining in! I think I will read The Internet Con by Cory Doctorow, which should cover both Web and Fraud. For Display, I expect I will choose a book from a library display. And for Capital, maybe I will also borrow a guide to Bucharest, since I'm considering attending an event there in fall 2024.
I am looking forward to Nonfiction November! I don't know if I will follow the prompt words - I will have to think about it as I figure out what to read. And, on a totally unrelated note, I love your sweater!
There’s a few non fiction books that either came out last week or come out tomorrow that I really, really want to read:
Where the Falcon Flies- Adam Shoalts
Dominion: the railway and the rise of Canada by Stephen Bown
Great Uncle Harry by Michael Palen
Eve: how the female body drove 200 million years of evolution by Cat Bohannon
Making it So - Patrick Stewart
The game of how to make them fit begins! Super excited!
Picard wrote a memoir?? Gimme Gimme Gimme!! LOL Thanks for the Intel. Must get this ASAP!!
I love this event so much!! Had such a blast last November. I want to read the new Naomi Klein book called Doppelganger, which I think I can slot into the fraud category. For web I'm going with your "heard about it on the internet" idea because I've been wanting to read There Are No Accidents since hearing Kazen from Always Doing talk it up. For capital I'm thinking Istanbul: A Tale of Three Cities. And for display, maybe I'll finally flip through my beautiful coffee table book called The Deep about bizarre underwater creatures. So excited!!
I am interested in The Deep. Is the author Claire Nouvian? 9:01
@@bookwalk1 yep!
I 'm going to read A Time for Trumpets. Olive your outfit and makeup are on point. Very Pretty >>
It is my favorite time of the year!!
I'd suggest the radium girls by Kate Moore! It could definitely fit fraud
I have one book I am going to try and one I might dabble in by reading a chapter lol. I use to love true crime as a teen but I haven't been a nonfiction fan for a long time but trying to get back into it
I love nonfiction books. I am excited about this
Hi, this will be my first year doing this challenge and I have chosen Breadsong for my non-fiction read. I am really looking forward to reading it. Not sure what challenge word it falls under but I am sure I can make it work! Thanks!
Woohoo! Already have a few ideas spinning in my head, but need to take a look at my TBR shelves and see what I can find that fits the prompts! -Becks
Have been waiting for this announcement video. I will try to do 1 or 2 of the prompts. I do have a couple of nonfiction books about libraries i have been wanting to read, Reading Allowed by Chris Paling and The Librarian by Allie Morgan.
Yaaayyy! Bring it !
I had to laugh, my entire home library is non fiction except for Greek mythology and I am never honestly certain that is really true !! This will be a gorgeous fun month
As I was watching this video I already have four books picked out! I just need to find a book for Fraud! 😊📖
Uh oh. I’m not much of a non-fiction reader. So, I looked in my stacks and found one Hundred Saturdays by Michael Frank. It is the creation of a memoir of Stella who survived the Nazi occupation of Rhodes, which is the historical capital of the Greek Dodecanese Islands. It sounds fascinating. Thanks for the push to read NF!
Oh, I do love this idea. I'll have to check my shelves 🙂.
I'm so excited for Nonfiction November! I think I have books for 3 of the prompts, although I'm still working on something for Fraud. I'm sure I have something on my shelves...
I have several books that I want to read this NFN but I think these prompts will push me to make sure I read The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography by Simon Singh. It seems to to intersect perfectly with each of the prompts this year.
I’m one of those who doesn’t read much nonfiction books😬But I try to read at least one or two books during your Readathon. I’m planing to read Joseph Anton and try to finish one of Erik Larson books. I’m not a fast reader but I will like to read also Unwell Women, a book recommended by Brita Böhler sometime ago. Let’s see how it goes🤗
Yay!
I was waiting for it, here's my tbr:
Fraud: The phantom Atlas
Web: The Darkest Web
Capital: Victoria's Most Haunted
Display: Below the Edge of Darkness
I have two books in mind, Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class by Blair LM Kelley and The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis, to read in November.
I definitely have a few non-fiction books on my shelf. Entangled Life which as a cover buy last fall, but I’ve also preordered Britney Spears’ memoir. Can’t wait to see her perspective of her life.
Maybe this will be the year I'll be motivated to pick up non-fiction.
Not waiting for non fiction November. After enjoying The Wager by David Grann, I have started to read one of his other books Killers of The Flower Moon. I have a decent collection of non fiction books on my shelf I have yet to read so I won't even need to go out and buy a thing! I have quite a DISPLAY of choices.
I just finished Killers of the Flower Moon! So well done! Tragic history! How was The Wager?
@@adriennelara9037 I found it very interesting. Was on a topic I knew nothing about so I was quite intrigued about the history of this journey
I really am aiming to just finish the one book I started 4 years ago. Or probably just try to re-read an old favourite.
